The design of advanced electrocatalysts for HER is the most important part to reduce the cost and to enhance the efficiency of water splitting. MoSis considered as one of the most promising electrocatalysts to replace the precious Pt catalyst.Herein, for the first time, we have successfully loaded MoSelectrocatalysts onto the CoOnanosheet array to catalyze HER with a low onset potential of6 mV. The high hydrogen evolution activity of MoSsupported on the CoOnanosheet array may be attributed to the increased active sites and the electronic interactions between MoSand CoO.展开更多

The samples were characterized by various means such as nitrogen adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Htemperature-programmed reduction(H-TPR),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Results showed that the modified catalyst had the mesoporous structure, comparatively higher amount of surface oxygen and larger oxygen vacancies than others. As a result of the structure and surface composition merits, a high methane combustion conversion(50%) could be obtained at a low temperature of 262 °C for the modified CoO/CeOcomposites catalysts. The experimental results demonstrated that ultrasonic impregnation treatment combined with the Nthermal treatment prior to calcination in air had a promising application for preparation of CoO/CeOcomposites catalysts for low-temperature catalytic combustion of methane.展开更多

By heating the catalyst at a constant rate from 150-300℃, temperature fluctuations due to non-equilibrium adsorption are minimized. The evolved gas profiles show that ODH to isobutene and water is a primary reaction pathway, while carbon dioxide, which forms from the catalyst during reaction, is the only other product. This CO2 evolution may enhance the activity of the catalyst. Isobutene formation proceeds with the participation of lattice oxygen from the Cr2O3/La2(CO3)3 catalyst. The intrinsic Arrhenius rate constant for the ODH of isobutane isk(s-1) = 1011.5±2.2exp{-((55±5) -ΔHads kJmol-1)/RT}The small pre-exponential factor is expected for a concerted mechanism and for such a catalyst with a small surface area and limited porosity.展开更多

When electric field was applied, the catalytic combustion performance of Pd/Co_3O_4 catalysts was greatly improved, and the application of electric field could reduce the load of active element Pd to some extent while maintaining the same efficiency. Based on experimental tests and the analysis results of X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), H2-temperature-programmed reduction(H2-TPR) and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy(in-situ DRIFTS), the mechanism of catalytic oxidation of CH_4 over Pd/Co_3O_4 catalysts in electric field was proposed. The catalytic combustion of CH_4 occurs only when the temperature is higher than 250?C normally, but when electric field was applied, the whole process of CH_4 oxidation was promoted significantly and the reaction temperature was reduced. Electric field could promote the reduction of the support Co_3O_4 to release the lattice oxygen, resulting in the increase of PdOxand the surface chemisorbed oxygen, which could provide more active sites for the low-temperature oxidation of CH_4. Furthermore, electric field could accelerate the dehydroxylation of CoOOH to further enhance the activity of the catalysts.展开更多

Transmission electron microscope (TEM)observations revealed that the precipitates are platelet in shape, lying nearly parallel to the {100} planes of the L12-ordered matrix, and perfectly coherent with the matrix lattice at the beginning of aging. The high temperature strength increases appreciably with the fine precipitation of disondered Co-rich phase over the whole temperature range investigated. TEM observations of the deformed alloys after underaging revealed that saperdislocations are pinned by precipitates indicating an attractive interaction between dislocations and precipitates.展开更多
